This essay is the outcome of the multidisciplinary EU proof of concept research project “EU Face Advanced Communication for Elders Treasuring in Society” (EUFACETS), which delved into the multifaceted phenomenon of aging, generally referred to as the “Silver Age”, and how this phase of life relates to contemporary technology and the digital culture. The EUFACETS project analysed how Silver Agers use and interact through contemporary technologies, in the aim to design a dedicated digital application enabling seniors to connect with their family and community, and to share life stories and memories. The design of such an application came after a process of observation and interaction with different categories of seniors, considering technology as a means to enrich the aging experience, fostering meaningful relationships and countering the isolation or marginalization often associated with this stage of life. The attempt of this paper is to retrace the different stages of the project, and the insights emerged during its multidisciplinary exploration phase. Through this attempt, we intend to deconstruct current narratives on aging, acknowledging the nuanced experiences of the elderly and advocating for a paradigm shift in how aging is perceived and valued in society at large.
